G. A. r. Reunion at Grand Rapids.

The first annual reunion of the
Northern Wisconsin G.. A. r. Associa-
ton will be held at Grand Rapids on
September Goth and 2lst. The call has
already been issued and sent to the
different posts. This reunion was
called to meet at Marshfeld, but the
fire there made it impracticable for the
people to provide accommodations for a
large crowd, and hence a change had to
be made Grand Rapids was selected
in response to a cordial invitation from
Wood County Post, which organization
will no doubt do al in it's power to make
the gathering pleasant one. Every
comrade who possibly can, should make
it point to attend. There is no reason
why these annual reunions should not
be made a source of pleasure and enjoy
ment to all members of the G.. A. r. in
this part of the state.

From Pittsville Independent: Mr. L.
W. Thayer, the new manager of our
base ball club, claims the championship
of Wood county for his club, and chal-
lenges any club in the county to play a
series of three games, one to be on the
grounds here, one on the grounds of
the accepting club, and the third where
ever agreed upon. The players all to
be residents of Wood county.
This looks like a considerable display
of cheek, in view of recent events on
the diamond, but Mr. Thayer has an
abundance of confidence in the playing
ability of our boys, and will back them
against anything in he county, best two
out of three We do not think his
challenge will long lay unaccepted.
